Maintenance
The maintenance menu allows the user to set reminders for various vehicle maintenance items.
Some menu items shown below may not be equipped on your vehicle.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks. For additional information, see
“Changing wheels and tires” (P. 8-39). Many factors including tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and road conditions affect tire wear
and when tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not mean your tires will last that
long. Use the tire replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.
Menu item Explanation
Service Allows user to reset the current interval. This should only be done after completing oil change maintenance.
Air Filter Allows user to set a reminder at a specific interval or reset the current one.

for replacing tires.
Other This indicator appears when the customer set distance is reached for checking or replacing maintenance items other
than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. Other maintenance items can include such things as air filter or tire rotation. The
